im 16 and im going to get my lower left and upper left wisdom teeth removed on friday, and i smoke. but i know that dry socket is possible so im going to go onto patches for 5 days and then start agian (and dont give me that smoking is bad bullshit, don't want to hear it) anyway anyone had an experience with wisdom teeth removal? or better yet, dry socket?

You'll be so fucked up on painkillers that smoking is gonna be the last thing you even think about. And don't worry about the pain, it's really not that bad and you can just pop a Vicodin when it comes

I had my upper left & right removed two years agoand it wasn't bad at all. They just gave me the anesthetic (a needle in my mouth) and gouged them out with something that looked a bit like a screwdriver or something. I felt some pressure during the operation but it only took about 10-15 seconds.

Yeah dude, I got mine out about a month ago and it sucked. With me though I didn't smoke until the morning after the procedure, but I did smoke...a lot actually (helps with the pain) and for the record, dry socket is a myth.

If your child can breathe, suspect drugs. Only people who breathe take drugs. People who cannot breathe still can, but it is increasingly difficult.

I'm going to get 3 (had one removed before due to infections..) of my wisdom teeth torn out of my head soon as well as some weird mutant extra tooth.

all of the are impacted to hell so its going to be brutal. for him at least. i'm going under general anesthesia, so i'm going to go in.. get a needle to the arm and then just wake up in a bloody mouthed heap in my bed roughly 8 hours later.

the swelling was pretty bad just from the one tooth.. its gonna be hell with with these 4 coming out.

Ever since I was a kid, I dreaded the day I would have to get them out. Turns out, it was probably the easiest thing ever. I guess different people have different experiences, but all I did was go to the dentist-surgeon guy, he gave me a shot and I was like, "Hey that was pretty zzzzz...." and I was out like that. Woke up in my bed with a lot of cloth in my mouth and spent the rest of the day drinking smoothies. That night I went to the movies. It's really not bad at all.
